Chapter 163: Sarasota has principles?

Carl could not guess Martin Wilson's psychological activities, but from his hiding place, he could still notice the expressions of the two scientists just now. He silently chanted in his heart: May the supreme Lord hoodwink you!

Then Carl took out his phone, edited the inspirational snippet about the two scientists mutually motivating each other into text, and posted the status on the internal network.

When Wu You saw this status, it had already received dozens of likes, with the primary demon Sarasota ranking right at the top.

Well, at least the scientists' voluntary research passion was guaranteed.

However, although he had shamelessly fabricated so many stories lately, he was still a bit too embarrassed to tap that like button himself.

Other people's recognition was true recognition; there was no need to toot his own horn.

Right now, he needed to cultivate the colorful coral worms that had recently brought him a pleasant surprise, to see if the metal produced by the upgraded colorful coral worms would be even better.

The number of these little guys was quite substantial now, but the original crafted alchemical lifeforms only numbered a little over a hundred.

Wu You directly picked 10 of them and chose to cultivate them together. Anyway, given their reproductive capacity, they would soon fill a basket.

After clicking confirm in the system.

All 10 of the little guys placed on Wu You's desk began to secrete active metal liquid from the outsides of their bodies.

Wu You watched with his own eyes as another ten charred spots appeared on his computer desk.

In the end, ten oval-shaped, hard metal "cocoons" appeared on the desk.

Wu You felt a strange sensation in his heart.

What is this situation? The things coming out later won't be moths, will they?

After waiting patiently for two minutes, all the metal cocoons melted and were subsequently sucked into the mouths of the evolved coral worms.

No moths appeared, and even the appearance of the coral worms did not change much.

It's just that their colors appeared somewhat translucent.

The skill bar remained completely unchanged, still consisting only of metal gnawing and living-cell metal, seeming to lack even basic attack capabilities.

The system's basic evaluation changed from Black Iron Junior to Black Iron Senior, and the cultivation potential showed as exhausted, shattering Wu You's fantasy of cultivating them again.

It seemed the next upgrade for the colorful coral worms would have to rely on himself. Would it have any effect if he found some bizarre metals for them to gnaw on?

He let several coral worms secrete new active metal once more.

This time, the speed was a bit faster than before, but also limited. The color of the metal was still controllable depending on the elements devoured, but in their natural state, they were still predominantly silver-white.

At a glance, it seemed as if nothing had changed at all, but the metal's activation speed and hardening speed had noticeably accelerated.

Moreover, the toughness of the metal had also improved significantly.

Although Wu You hoped in his dreams that the metal strength could eventually reach the level of the Lion-King Kong's outer skin, that was just wishful thinking; still, it was strong enough now.

He picked up a new metal sheet, and it took a great deal of force to bend this thin piece by ninety degrees, after which it would spring right back into shape upon release.

As he was boredly using the metal sheet like a fan and waving it back and forth to play, his phone rang.

Glancing at the caller ID, it was his father, Wu Jianguo, so he casually pressed answer.

"Hello, Dad, how is the trip going?"

Seeing that the call was connected over on the other end, the voice that came through belonged instead to his mother, Zhang Guihua.

"Xiao You, your dad and I originally planned to tour Europe, but seeing all the foreigners preparing for Christmas..."

Wu You could hear his dad's voice on the side as well.

"Uh-huh, and then?"

"You child, don't you miss your mom and dad?"

Wu You broke into a sweat.

"Mom, of course I miss you guys! I was just waiting for you to finish talking!"

"Alright, alright, don't interrupt."

Wu You: ......

"Seeing those foreigners having family reunions for Christmas, sigh, thinking about our son being all alone at home, with no one to cook meals or wash clothes, and with your lazy nature, the place must be an absolute mess..."

Wu You's eyelids twitched as he listened. At first, he was thinking, Mom, you've finally remembered you have a son, but why did the tone change halfway through?

Am I really your biological child?

"Anyway, your dad and I are a bit homesick and plan to come back."

Wu You was naturally very happy. During this period, whenever he felt like it, he would go to a restaurant or cook for himself; when he didn't, instant noodles could get him by. He actually did miss his mother's not-too-exquisite cooking.

"Alright Mom, when are you coming back? I'll come pick you up."

As for the accompanying company guards and translator, he would just let them hail a taxi from the airport to go back themselves, Wu You added mentally.

"Alright, we'll send a message to let you know. Before we get back, you need to clean up the house, you hear me? During your college summer vacation, when your dad and I went out to sell fruit for three days, you turned the house into a complete pigsty..."

"Alright, alright, I'll clean it up..."

Why did it feel like his mother's last sentence was the main point? It must be his imagination...

After hanging up the phone, Wu You directly summoned Sarasota to clean the house.

This fellow had been looking for an opportunity to show off in front of him every three days.

Well then, having a Silver-tier organism clean the house was quite a novelty; I'll give you a chance.

His original intention was just to make Sarasota feel awkward.

As a result, in order to get a chance to "make an appearance," Sarasota went all out.

To appear more sincere, this fellow didn't even use his abilities; he swept the floor, mopped the floor, wiped the windows, and washed the laundry and towels piece by piece.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, the primal demon is acting to heaven; seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, the king of beasts' best actor is on standby..."

Holding a toilet brush in one hand and toilet bowl cleaner in the other, Sarasota was having the time of its life scrubbing toilets in the bathroom.

When Wu You came over to take pictures, it even cooperated and struck poses.

Damn it, this fellow is extraordinary!

When it came to moral integrity among all alchemical lifeforms, the primal demon Sarasota definitely had a negative score.

Wu You sometimes wondered if something had gone wrong when he originally created the demon, or if he had been thinking about things he shouldn't have.

Otherwise, how could such a supreme oddball have popped out?

However, thinking about his parents returning, Wu You suddenly remembered that it seemed Bai Yanxi had no news yet. So much time had passed, could he have gone missing?

Company guards had gone with him at the time, after all.

A guard who practiced Iron-Will Boxing shouldn't pose much of a threat unless someone had a gun, right?

How could he not even make a phone call back? Counting the days, it had been well over ten days.

Thinking of this, he ignored Sarasota, who was still self-entertaining in the bathroom.

Old man Bai hated using cell phones, so Wu You called the guard who had been assigned to accompany Bai Yanxi.

The phone rang twice before it was connected.

"Hello, President Wu!"

The voice of the guard Lu Xian came through, and the background environment seemed a bit noisy.

"Lu Xian, has old Bai found his youngest son's family yet? What's going on over there, who is arguing?"

On the other end, Lu Xian was busy answering Wu You's question while watching two plates fly through the air and smash against the wall with a loud "crash."

"President Wu, they were found, but that couple is in the middle of a divorce. This whole mess has driven old Mr. Bai out of his mind..."
